Today's look is one of my favorites. It's a mix of sporty and chic. This embellished sweater has the most amazing detail. And the cold shoulder trend is still going strong. It's a fun way to show a hint of skin while still being comfortable.

New Year's Eve is one of those Holidays where attire can be quite varied. From fancy lavish parties, as semi-casual dinner with friends, or a game night at home - it's always a fun celebration.

Whatever your plans, we've got you covered!

Party Time!

Maybe you're attending a fancy party or dinner. Nothing screams New Year's Eve more than sequins and shine! I personally don't love dresses that are too tight (maybe it's because I've had 3 kids and the body isn't quite what it used to be or maybe it's because I just don't find them that comfortable - especially for a night of eating and drinking.) Anyway - I've linked a variety of festive dresses below that would be perfect for a night on the town! Add a heel, a velvet jacket, a clutch and you are ready!

Casual Evening

I love this type of evening. A night out with friends, maybe grabbing dinner or heading to a friends house for a small gathering. I love wearing jeans and a standout top to this type of evening or maybe a festive pair of sequin jogger pants and a soft sweater. (I just bought the jeweled cold shoulder sweater below - I sized up to a medium.)

Staying in and relaxing

This is what we've done since having kids and it's actually a lot of fun! One year we had a wii bowling tournament, we've played Minute-to-win-it games, played board games, and we always have delicious food. I'll make appetizers to munch on throughout the night and then we make chocolate fondue and have an array of items to dip. We relax in front of the fireplace and watch the ball drop. For a night like this, I'll be dressed cozy and cute.

What are your plans for this New Year's Eve?

Speaking of Holidays - Can you believe Christmas is this week!? We are still finishing up a few last minute gift ideas. Here is a list of some of our favorite retailers and their shipping deadlines:

Anthropologie - order by 12/21Nordstrom - last day for FREE standard shippingSole Society - order today for FREE 3 day shippingAbercrombie - 12-19 to 12-21: $5 shipping in time for ChristmasAmazon - today is FREE standard shipping for Prime members, order by 12-22 for FREE 2-day shipping for qualified orders for Prime members

The prettiest shade of pink! During the cold, dark winter months we love wearing bright bold colors! It can really "brighten" your mood! This sweater is a perfect length to wear with leggings and a V-neck which is such a flattering fit. It's only $34 too.

The prettiest for just $12. This reminds me so much of the classic David Yurman bracelets, but a fraction of the cost. Such a classic piece to wear alone or mixed with your favorite bracelets and watch. It also comes in black!

There is something about a stripe sweater. Especially a wide stripe! We love it any time of the year. Unfortunately, this one sold out as we were writing this post (darn!). Maybe it'll come back in stock. But this one and this one also have wide stripes and are equally as cute!

We love our designer jeans. But it's nice to mix in some affordable jeans as well. These are under $40! Can you believe it?! Not only is the price good, but they fit great as well (TTS). We both bought a couple pairs and they do not disappoint.

We both have a couple pairs of these rain boots and we love them. But we recently found a new pair that also comes with a shearling lining to keep your toes warm and is half the price. They come in multiple color options, including classic black and hot pink. I just ordered the short Pine color for myself!

Have you noticed the huge sneaker trend happening?
They are for more than working out. They are for your everyday lifestyle. With the huge athleisure movement, it's no wonder sneakers are in the spotlight too!! They are comfortable and trendy.

For the past few years we have been taking a winter getaway to go skiing. We've always stayed fairly close to home. This year we decided it was time to take the kiddos out West for a full ski adventure. Some of the best skiing is out West. A standout hotel to us in our search, was The Chateaux Deer Valley. Our stay at The Chateaux Deer Valley was nothing short of perfect.

1. Cozy Sweater

It's sweater weather! We are all about sweaters this year, can't get enough of them. This sweater is a classic style, comes in 9 pretty colors and is on sale for under $35! It's also available as a turtleneck.

2. Slippers

Both our homes are mostly wood floors, which get really cold in the Winter. Warm slippers are a must to keep our toes warm!! These are super soft too! And don't forget the man in your life, he would love these slippers.

3. First Aid Beauty

In the Winter months, our skin and lips get so dry. This kit has everything you need to keep your skin hydrated. It contains a face cleanser, intensive lip balm, ultra repair body cream, ultra repair hydrating serum and facial radiance pads. A $95 value for under $50!! What a deal and a great gift idea!

4. Winter Boots

Everyone needs a pair of boots that are both warm and waterproof. If they are stylish too, that's even better. These boots are too cute!! They come in 5 color combos, but we love this tan and pink combo best!! The cream and black are a great neutral!

5. Warm Coat

We are loving all the coat options out there. (Check this past post for more great coat ideas) This coat is adorable with the fur hood. It also comes in a grey and dark blue. The quilting and shape are what makes us love this coat.

6. Hat & Scarf

A hat and scarf are easy to throw in your bag for when you need extra warmth. You might as well have a set that is pretty and colorful. We love this scarf and this hat because of the light color.

7. Turtleneck

A layering turtleneck is a must. It adds a layer to keep you warmer. The stripes look great under any sweater or cardigan. We love this one because its a longer length and is only $23.
